    Alevis and Alevism in the Changing Context of Turkish Politics: the Justice and Development Party's Alevi Opening
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011) Soner, Bayram Ali; Toktas, Sule
    The Justice and Development Party (JDP, Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi) has launched a rapprochement policy toward the Alevis. The JDP's Alevi Opening has presented a unique case in Turkey's latest identity politics not only because Alevi claims, for the first time, came to be involved in political processes for official recognition and accommodation, but also because the process was handled by a political party which is regarded to have retained Islamist roots in Sunni interpretation. This article explores the JDP's Alevi Opening process and tries to explain the motivations behind the party's decision to incorporate the Alevi question in its political agenda. What is more, the debate that the opening has caused is also under scrutiny with the positions and arguments held by the actors and the agencies involved in the process, e. g., the Alevis (the secularist and the conservative wings), the General Directorate of Religious Affairs, the National Security Council, the JDP leadership and the Islamist intellectuals.

    The Politics of Population in a Nation-Building Process: Emigration of Non-Muslims From Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008) Icduygu, Ahmet; Toktas, Sule; Soner, B. Ali
    Within the politics of nationalism and nation-building, the emigration of ethnic and religious minorities, whether voluntary or involuntary, appears to be a commonly occurring practice. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the early twentieth century, modern Turkey still carried the legacy of a multi-ethnic, multi-religious diversity in which its Armenian, Greek and Jewish communities had official minority status based upon the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. However, throughout the twentieth century, Turkey's non-Muslim minority populations have undergone a mass emigration experience in which thousands of their numbers have migrated to various countries around the globe. While in the 1920s the population of non-Muslims in the country was close to 3 per cent of the total, today it has dropped to less than two per thousand. This article analyses the emigration of non-Muslim people from Turkey and relates this movement to the wider context of nation-building in the country.

    Understanding Urban Alevism Through Its Socio-Spatial Manifestations: Cemevis in Zmir
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Sen, Seher; Soner, Bayram Ali
    Cemevis emerged as the spaces of the Alevi identity in contemporary cities of Turkey. On the basis of in-depth interviews conducted in zmir with the heads of cemevi associations, this study claims that, while cemevis were enforced by the process of urbanization, they have been transforming the Alevi practices and collective organizations and eventually constructing a new type of Alevism as to religious practices, community institutions and collective imagination. Though no legal-political recognition has yet been granted to cemevis as the places of worship, they have established themselves as central institutions of urban Alevis with their extensive use beyond the limited oppositional categorization of culture-religion. This denial of legal status which has been seen as the violation of basic human rights is one of the main constitutive dynamics in the ongoing debates on Turkey's Alevi question. It is to such an extent that the denial of legal status to cemevis has today come to be identified by Alevi groupings with the denial of Alevi collective identity itself.

    Azınlık Hakları : Ayrılıkçı Mı,çoğulcu Mu ?
    (2008) Soner, Bayram Ali
    Etnik milliyetçi talepler ve eylemler Soğuk Savaş sonrasında ulus-devlet ve uluslararası komuoyu gündemlerini tekrar ve yoğun şekilde meşgul eder hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, ulus-devletlerin toprak bütünlüğü ve egemenliğine ciddi tehdit oluşturan söz konusu gelişmenin kavramsal, kuramsal ve hukuki zeminde meşruiyetini tartışmaktadır. Çalışmanın üzerinde durduğu sav, günümüz azınlık hakları standartlarının ne kuramsal, kavramsal ne de hukuki boyutta etnik milliyetçi eylemlerin ayrılıkçı, ulus-devlet egemenliği ve toprak bütünlğünü ihlal edebilecek söylem ve eylemlerine pirim tanımadığıdır. Bu bağlamda ortaya konulan iddia, ethno-kültürel farklılıklarının çoğulcu-demokratik yapılar içinde korunması ve ifade edilebilmesi şartlarının sağlanmasının çağdaş azınlık hakları çerçevesinin çizdiği nihayi sınırlar olduğudur.
